My first Cinematical Seven feature, written to coincide with the release of The Wolfman on Blu-Ray/DVD two weeks ago, led me to revisit some of my favorite werewolf films, including Wolfen, Michael Wadleigh's (Woodstock) underseen, underappreciated adaptation of Whitley Strieber's (2012: The War for Souls, The Greys, Communion, The Hunger) first novel (it's currently out-of-print). The nature of the article, however, precluded a thorough discussion of Wolfen's merits and/or demerits as a film. Luckily, Wolfen is a good fit for another recurring feature on Cinematical, "Scenes We Love." And yes, there is indeed a scene that fits that description in Wolfen.
Wolfen opens with a grisly attack on a wealthy New York City couple, a real estate developer, Christopher van der Veer (Max M. Brown), and his wife, Pauline (Anne Marie Pohtamo), as they take a post-party, early morning stroll in Battery Park under the watchful eye of their bodyguard.
